Hi,

Please check your JSON payload. You do not need the top-level "entry" ...

You may find it useful to sanity check via "curl" or Postman (or your favourite HTTP/REST client) ? You may also find it useful to take a look at https://community.alfresco.com/community/ecm/blog/2017/02/24/v1-rest-api-part-8-sites or simply "Try it out !" via the API explorer to see an example payload Alfresco Content Services REST API Explorer ?

Another option is to have a look at how it is done via the Alfresco JS API "create site" or use that instead ?

Hope that helps.

Regards,

Jan
